    Summary

    "For nothing enriches the world more than kindness. It makes mysterious things clear, difficult things easy, and dull things cheerful" -Leo Tolstoy

    After winding up in the 19th century, a chance encounter with an alluring man entangles you within his messy past. The longing for that which has been unattainable becomes too great.
    Romance had never been a particular interest of Dio Brando's, but his meeting with you has left him wanting more. And he has never been a man to just walk away from something he wants. Even if that means confronting his trauma.

    If forgiveness is something that can be earned and cruelty is a choice; maybe it is possible for anyone to change; even a man like him, especially when you so vehemently insist on the good in him.

    A relationship with Dio Brando proves to be complicated, but now you're in it for the long haul.

    Or, Dio learns to find strength in that which makes him human.
    (Dio becomes a Good Boy AU lol)

    Story is told alongside various allusions to literature.

    Usually updates on Thursday!

    Summary

    "The storm clouds in the rear view mirror gave the family hope that they were leaving the ghosts of the past behind, they had convinced themselves that if they moved to a whole new country on the other side of the continent that the secrets they tried to keep buried six-feet under couldn’t follow them"

    After a great tragedy that looms over their heads, one that they can't speak of, Ellie Moreno and her dysfunctional family pack their bags and move to the quiet city of Forks-in hopes for a clean slate. Unfortunately, old habits die hard for the Moreno family as they slip into the same routines. Overworked and tired, Ellie struggles to keep her head above water as she cleans up after her family's messy trail, all while battling with her own internal conflict.

    When she crosses paths with the city's infamously perfect Cullen family, she can't decide whether or not she is comforted or unsettled by the strange family. Especially, the compassionate Dr. Cullen.

    Summary

    When graduate student Hermione Granger begins her thesis under the infamous Dr. Severus Snape - a brilliant but emotionally unavailable literary critic - she’s warned to keep things strictly professional. But beneath his harsh feedback and withering stares lies a subtle fascination neither of them can ignore. Between whispered conversations in the stacks and quiet glances across seminar tables, something begins to smolder. He’s her advisor. She’s off-limits. But office hours are becoming far too personal.

    Summary

    Hope's Peak Academy. The shining bastion of hope that most youth in Japan dream of attending when they get older. Unfortunately for most the process of being accepted isn’t as simple as passing an extra rigorous exam. There were only two requirements.
    You must be a high school student.
    You must excel at a certain talent.
    It could be anything, from baseball to photography to even being in a biker gang. Nothing was off the table. However you could not apply, you needed to be scouted to be permitted to join the elites. Truly being considered talented enough to join Hope's Peak was one of the greatest honors that could be bestowed upon a high school student. It also opened up so many doors. People who graduated from Hope’s Peak grew even further then before, becoming the leaders and pioneers in their fields.
    And here you stood, at the front of the school.
    God

    You shouldn’t be here.

    Summary

    Damian Wayne has never been one to dwell on romance. He had never really found the right person, and he was too busy - with patrol and school. It was dangerous as well, for him and anyone who caught his eye. At least that what he tells himself as he enters the school library. And yet, every excuse and fear was wiped from his mind as he spotted you.

    Summary

    Mostly canon-compliant Marauders-at-Hogwarts fic where each year is basically an entire book with a full plot.

    Or

    Strong Moonwater-centric fic where Regulus is actually the golden key that unlocks the entire universe – because why do only Padfoot and Prongs get ride-or-die besties?

    Or

    That one where the Marauders secretly brew Polyjuice to trade places with Remus on full moon days and help him avoid suspicion – think body-swapping with your crush trope.

    Or

    That one where, through a series of extenuating circumstances, Remus and Sirius have three first kisses. Because, naturally, third time's a charm, right?
